Testimonials from RCF Alumni
Since its founding, the Rhize Coaching Fellowship has been an incredible learning experience for all Coaching Fellows & Coaching Mentors who have participated in the program. Together, they have reached almost 100 movements that have benefitted from in-depth power maps of their movements and trainings on how to build a stronger movement. Through this all, the Coaches built their skills through a week-long retreat, monthly skill building workshops and mentorship and financial support from Rhize. The Coaches shared their experiences about the program:
2022 RCF
“It was a good experience I wish would never end. I recommend it to everyone building a movement or thinking of starting or working with a movement soon.”
- Charles Omofomwan, 2022 RCF
“The RCF was sincerely one of the best things that happened to me this year. I found myself being stretched and I built more capacity. I met amazing people and was able to share my knowledge with some really awesome folks in Nigeria.”
- Funke Adeoye, 2022 RCF

2020 RCF
“I got a family that I never expected. A family from different movements, organisations, countries, continents, religions and cultural heritages. What more could I ask for?”
- Grace, 2020 RCF
“Grassroots movements are a catalyst to achieve [the] rights of [the] marginalized, open civic space and lead to a genuine [democratic] foundation. Rhize’s Global Coaching Fellowship program has laid a sustainable movement building approach to enhance people's power. Thanks for the GCF program in Malawi.”
- Mavuto, 2020 RCF
“The GCF has [given] me the courage and strategic capabilities to advance my passion for empowering local actors who impact politics in communities through understanding of movements”
